Botswana national carrier, Air Botswana (BP), recently implemented French aviation software specialist ADSoftware's "AIRPACK Fleet Management System & Logistics Solutions" as part of its continuing efforts to adopt global best practices.
Though not required by regulation, Air Botswana elected to implement a framework of internal controls over its
maintenance department by subscribing to the maintenance package whose functionality includes: fleet management, inventory and logistics control, documentation management, security management and reliability statistics reports.
The data of Air Botswana's three ATR42-500s, two ATR 72-500s and two BAe146 -100s were amongst the first aircraft migrated to the system, following which, the AIRPACK Suite was installed and implemented across twenty users.
“For the first six months of running the solutions, Air Botswana will be monitored closely by our team to allow the last required customizations and modifications necessary to optimize usage of the system,” commented Mr Fred Ulrich CEO of ADSoftware.
Air Botswana is an IATA member and has successfully received its Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification; the benchmark for global safety management in the airlines industry.
